Dominate Your Local Market!

You can’t dominate your market without a strategy.

When you start planning your marketing strategy, there are some basic questions that you need to answer before you proceed. The same is true of online marketing.

So many would-be Internet marketers overlook these because they fail to see the power of the web to promote their business, product, service - or themselves for that matter.

But not honestly and fully answering these four questions will keep you from reaching the full success potential of your marketing campaign.

The four questions are:

1. Where am I now?
2. Where do I want to be and when?
3. How do I get there?
4. How do I know if I’m getting there?

Why are these important?

1. Where am I now?
Before you can decide where you want to go, you need to determine where you are. In other words, your can’t get there from here unless you know where here is. Here is your starting point. An accurate appraisal of where you are know will begin to clarify what you need to do in order to move on. It’s the “You are here” X on the map.

2. Where do I want to be and when?
Next you need to know where it is you want to go and when you want to get there. When you leave on vacation, you know your destination and have a pretty good idea what time you should arrive. And when you set goals in your business or your life, you need to have the same information available. Know where your want to go and when you will get there helps bolster your confidence in the outcome. It also helps those who will work with you to get you there have a clear picture of how to proceed.

3. How do I get there?
Once you know the starting point and the ending point, you can plan the journey. Nothing will go exactly as planned, but those who have a solid plan will meet with fewer obstacles and they ones they DO encounter will have less of a detrimental effect on their journey. The “how” needs to be carefully thought out because once you start down the road, you want to take as few detours as possible.

4. How do I know if I’m getting there?
The plan needs to have mileposts that let you know if you are on track and on schedule. A goal with no mileposts is not a goal at all - it is a wish. Having no markers on your road, how would you know if you were making any progress at all - or possibly be going in the wrong direction?
